AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a confined space
or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided
for adequate combustion and
ventilation air. Read the following
instructions to insure proper fresh
air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient
than ever. New materials, increased insulation
and new construction methods help reduce
heat loss in homes. Home owners weather
strip and caulk around windows and doors
to keep the cold air out and the warm air in.
During heating months, home owners want
their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy
efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning ap
-
pliances need fresh air for proper combustion
and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers and
fuel burning appliances draw air from the house
to operate. You must provide adequate fresh
air for these appliances. This will insure proper
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a room or
space unless the required vol-
ume of indoor combustion air
is provided by the method de-
scribed in the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the
International Fuel Gas Code, or
applicable local codes.
WARNING: If the area in which
the heater may be operated does
not meet the required volume for
indoor combustion air, combus-
tion and ventilation air shall be
provided by one of the methods
described in the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
the International Fuel Gas Code,
or applicable local codes.
PROPANE/LP SUPPLY
Propane/LP gas and propane/LP tank(s) are
to be furnished by the user. The propane/LP
cylinder to be used must be constructed and
marked in accordance with the specifications
for the propane/LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT).
Use this heater only with a propane/LP vapor
withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5
of the
Standard for Storage and Handling
of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58
and/or CAN/CGAB 149.2
. Your local library
or fire department will have this booklet. The
amount of propane/LP gas ready for use from
propane/LP tanks varies. Two factors decide
this amount:
1. The amount of propane/LP gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
This heater is designed for use with a 20 or
40 pound refillable propane/LP cylinder when
used as a self contained heating system (with
hose and regulator). Larger tanks may be used
if installed in a permanent gas supply system.
The propane/LP cylinder used must include a
collar to protect the cylinder valve and a listed
over-filling prevention device (OPD).
